Page 5 Clifford J. Awald (1923-1985)

Clifford J. Awald was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1923. After completing a degree in inorganic chemistry, he joined his father in business as vice president of Lou Awald Chevrolet, Inc. in Buffalo. Operating a successful automobile dealership provided a secure income, but Clifford’s true passion was science. He served on the Board of Managers of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences from 1956 to 1985 and as President from 1978 to 1981, as part of his involvement with the Buffalo Museum of Science.

Clifford was also interested in Niagara Falls, especially the geology of the region, and began collecting books and prints that depicted the early history of the falls. By the late1970s, he had amassed a noteworthy collection of books about minerology and had developed an interest in fine bindings, in particular those that dealt with his passions - science and local history.

The coalescence of science and fine bindings presented itself to Clifford when he discovered books about the geology and natural history of the Niagara Frontier written by Amadeus Grabau and beautifully bound by his brother, John F. Grabau, a master craftsman who managed the bindery at Elbert Hubbard’s Roycroft Shop in East Aurora, New York. Geology and Paleontology of Eighteen Mile Creek - written by Amadeus and bound by John - was one of Clifford’s earliest acquisitions in this unique genre.

Intrigued by the artistry and precise detailing of that exquisitely bound volume, Clifford began collecting fine bindings produced by the Roycrofters and others; he learned how to bind and preserve books and expanded his collection to include books about books. He attributed his library to serendipity - being in the right place at the right time with cash in hand - and continued to collect beautiful books until his death in 1985.

John F. Grabau By Ellsworth Jaeger

Since the renaissance few have grasped the burning torch of inspired and artistic craftsmanship. Every age has its few selected children of genius, and Buffalo is rightly proud to have such a chosen one in John F. Grabau.

Born in Wisconsin in 1878, John Grabau came to Buffalo at the age of seven. With a home environment that created a love for books and things cultural, he, at an early age, developed an inexplicable desire to give expression to the promptings of his artistic nature. In 1902 upon visiting the Roycroft Shops at East Aurora he received an inspiration and desire to become an expert craftsman and his zeal and industry were first rewarded by his being appointed assistant head of that institution. He has for many years maintained his private studio and shops and this, the twenty-fifth anniversary of his activity, shows an interesting trail of honors won and patronage received.

Among honors by Arts and Crafts Societies the world over too numerous to mention was a silver medal awarded at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915. He is represented in the most notable libraries of this country and Europe. Kings, Princes and Popes have been his patrons. Among distinguished patrons he can number: The Queen of Roumania, the King of Spain, the late and present Popes, ex-Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, Harding and Coolidge, George Arliss, Katherine Cornell, Jessie Bonstelle, Ernest Thompson Seton, George Wharton James, Edna Ferber, Emily Stapp, and Ina Coolbrith.

John Grabau is one of the Founders of the Guild of Allied Arts of Buffalo; a charter member of the Guild of Book Workers of New York; a Master Craftsman of the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts; a member of the Arts and Crafts Guild of Philadelphia and of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts.

He has been represented in national exhibitions in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, St. Louis, Buffalo and Rochester, as well as in Canada. The American Federation of Arts recently selected two examples of the most outstanding work in the country for their traveling exhibition. John Grabau’s was one of these. He has lectured on his art at Columbai University; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; School of Decoration and the Shortridge Galleries in St. Louis. Besides being a master craftsman he is also an excellent teacher.

(Folio) original gilt decorated green cloth, all edges gilt, printed dust jacket. First American Edition. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1890 First American edition of this great work. The book was conceived in 1868 by Jerrold, an experienced journalist; and author and artist prowled every corner of the metropolis, sometimes accompanied by plainclothes police. “The theme of this book had been anticipated by Matthew Arnold three years earlier when he wrote of ‘London, with its unutterable external hideousness, and with its internal canker of publicé egestas, privatim opulentia - to use the words which Sallust puts into Cato’s mouth about Rome, -unequaled in the world’ (Culture and Anarchy, London, 1869, p. 31). Doré’s devastating realization of Lot 210 the contrast of wealth and poverty in a modern metropolis makes London one of the great illustrated books of the world.” - Ray. “If one book depicts Dickens’ London in all its glory and especially misery, this is it; and it is hard to cite another book of any period which so perfectly defines a time and place in history as this book does.” Bland, A History of Book Illustration, pp. 289-90.

San Francisco: Arion Press, 2000 A superb example of fine printing, one of the most important books to be produced by the Arion press, a massive lectern Bible of exquisite typographic beauty. The Arion Press employed both modern and traditional tools in producing the book. The text was generated by computer for composition, ensuring textual accuracy. The data was then transmitted to the Monotype machine for casting individual pieces of type in lines to be made up in pages with handset type for display and printed on a two-color cylinder press, two pages per pressrun. Typecasting, printing, and binding were done on site by Arion staff, specially trained in the traditional crafts of bookmaking. The paper on which it is printed is mouldmade Somerset, manufactured from all-cotton fiber by the Inveresk Mill in England. The type is Romulus, designed by Jan Van Krimpen for the Enschede Foundry in the 1930’s. The book was available either as unbound sheets, bound in full linen, or in full goatskin (such as the present copy). Also, an edition of 150 copies was done with hand-illuminated initials, which retails by Arion Press at $11,000. Black box with several white stuff marks on lid (easily cleaned); volumes are fine.
